- 'The dedication provided by Luis Miguel Elias and David Baracco has been fundamental in our relationship with the firm. Their availability and response time are commendable. The meeting of deadlines has been key to handling the negotiation in the scheduled time.'
- 'David Baracco, beyond being a great professional, has the necessary soft skills to be able to internalise the needs of the business units, in such a way that he outlines solutions that are narrowed down to the commercial issues but at the same time covered by his legal experience, which provides a robust and above all sustainable position. I consider David to be a very valuable lawyer, who guarantees solutions with a reliable legal basis.'
